Panorama Trail

Nature
Panorama Trail is a marked hiking route in Yosemite National Park, California, descending the south wall of Yosemite Valley from Glacier Point to Happy Isles. Named for its broad views, especially at Panorama Point, it links major overlooks and waterfalls in a single descent. The trail begins near the Glacier Point Amphitheater, runs east to Illilouette Falls, crosses Illilouette Creek, then continues toward Nevada Fall before joining the Mist Trail and following the Merced River past Vernal Fall to Yosemite Valley. It serves as both a scenic traverse and an important connection between the high rim and the valley floor, and remains a popular one-way day hike.
